The following claims were verified through Perplexity Sonar before the questions were finalised. The host can reference any of them during play:
In NCERT Class 9 Economics, poverty is defined as a situation in which a person’s income or consumption level falls below the minimum level needed to meet basic needs.
The minimum level of income or consumption needed to meet basic needs is called the poverty line.
In India, the poverty line is estimated using the costs of a basket of physical quantities such as food, clothing, footwear, fuel, light, and education.
India uses different poverty lines for rural and urban areas because work patterns, lifestyles, and expenses differ between them.
The poverty ratio for India fell from 45% in 1993-94 to 22% in 2011-12.
India still had about 270 million poor people in 2011-12, showing that the absolute number of poor remained very large despite the decline in the poverty ratio.
The social groups most vulnerable to poverty in India include Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and rural agricultural labour households.
The states with the highest poverty rates mentioned in the chapter are Odisha at 47%, Bihar at 42%, and Madhya Pradesh at 37%.
The chapter notes that poverty declined rapidly in China and South-East Asia due to economic growth and investment in human resource development.
The chapter says poverty rose in sub-Saharan Africa from 41% in 1981 to 46% in 2001.
The anti-poverty strategy discussed in the chapter emphasizes two broad approaches: promoting economic growth and implementing targeted programmes for the poorest people.
MGNREGA is one of India’s major anti-poverty programmes and guarantees 100 days of wage employment in a financial year to rural households whose adult members volunteer for unskilled manual work.
